Does the Timestamp Affect the Hash of the Merkle Root?

Does the Timestamp Affect the Hash of the Merkle Root?

No, the timestamp does not directly affect the hash of the Merkle Root. The Merkle Root is calculated solely from the transaction data within the block.

However, the timestamp is included in the block header, and the block header (which includes the Merkle Root and the timestamp) is the data that is hashed by the miner to find the final block hash.
